'do you have the answer? ' how do you get to heaven? ' do you have the answer? ' hey mr. deadman ' ill tell you if you want to know ' how you can get to heaven? ' believe in i jah jah son ' (chorus) Satellite I wonder how clear it must look from there to here  No obstruction, this selfish corruption  All in this atmosphere  No fear, less tears, only time to catch my breath  I fail to inhale  Your love constricts my chest  Confusion blinded me, mental and physically  And it’s because of you that now I can see  So now can I run? I follow the Son and ride on to Zion  And dance this last song of freedom  But only time will tell, if it’s truly for real  Can’t change your mind, all I know this is what I feel  Whether I’m wrong or right, please keep my life in sight  And never take you eyes off me  chorus:  As I look up to the sky today  Well I can see you looking down on me  It brings a smile to my face again  Satellite  It’s truly one of a kind, like star shine, beyond night time, are you there  My eyes stare to find, just what’s behind this blind notion of mine, is it genuine  Cause sometimes, it plays tricks with my mind, some call it asinine  But it’s like love or hate, now is that real or fake?  Cause it’s a real thin line, but that’s your choice to make  The question at hand, help me understand, is this your plan?  I think I can, can I think, then I think I can  Because I won’t break (nah), and I won’t shake (nah)  With lifted hands to this Man (Jah), I’ll stand in faith  I’ll make it through, my trust in you  Close my eyes, make a wish, kiss the sky  Hey there&ldots;I see you  chorus
